Have just confirmed final edits on my first new story publication in (checks notes) SEVEN YEARS? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

A screenshot of a useless piece of shit garbage Google AI Overview. The user was searching for the spelling of the word "occasion". Google says, "The correct spelling is occasion (one 'c', two 's's)" because it's a rapidly collapsing trashfire masquerading as a search portal. Sundar Pichai will one day pay for his sins.

Now I'm even more confused.

Tried! Neither I nor my partner could get it through.

Any Melbourne folk know a piercer who can reopen a closed lobe piercing? Bloody thing zipped itself shut in less than 24 hours and it feels like 99% scar tissue in there.

Also started my rewatch last night! Noi is the greatest.

HI I'M ONE OF THE GUESTS OF HONOUR

TELL THEM YOU'RE EXCITED TO HAVE A HUGE GIANT TERRIBLE INSECT AS A GOH

Or I guess you could talk about panels and stuff since they're asking about panels

Anyway I hope lots of people attend! It is ALL VIRTUAL!

The Artemis II crew grinning and laughing together while floating in the Orion capsule, getting ready for their press conference.

I just love seeing how happy they all are 🥲 #Artemis

Australia, too!

Once more I am boosting my pre-order links, a share would be appreciated!

Also check out my book if you wanna read a gory, bloody, revenge fantasy. also it’s gay

This is the thing that made Bluesky what it is, and it's what we need to fight to keep. We owe it to the trans and furry pioneers who gave us this place.

“I use it to brainstorm”
Go for a walk. Take a shower. Drop a shit. You’d be amazed at the results.
“I use it to bounce ideas”
Have you ever considered making a friend?

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

Yeah but what if you just fucking don’t?

This guy like "I've always wanted to be a marathoner, but I didn't want to run long distances. But now, with the help of this handy SUV, I'm crossing finish lines like there's no tomorrow! 😁"

a digital illustration in the style of a relief print depicting a black cat in a defensive pose holding a torn and tattered transgender pride flag in its mouth as it looks directly towards the viewer. the background is purple with some specks of blue and pink showing through, and behind the cat is a black midground resembling grass or flames. the top right corner features a box with a caption reading "T.D.O.V."

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

A small aside but yes, SHE WHO BECAME THE SUN and the sequel HE WHO DROWNED THE WORLD were both absolutely brilliant and I think everyone everywhere should read them immediately.

Can confirm, excellent accent. Please have Premee on your podcasts!

Canberra to Rockhampton along the coast, back in the 90s. Overnighted in a tent.

*me, awake since 3.30am* oh no

4014 by 5.30pm. That's a solid day.

Fukken cooking with gas today, lads.

2770 words by 3pm. Time for a cuppa.

*a One Nation voter, hearing an echo of their own voice* sounds foreign, send it back

All the self-awareness of a cadbury creme egg

A screenshot of somebody who voted for One Nation in Australia's latest state election. The article states: Wallaroo local and One Nation volunteer Lyn Hamilton said she was not totally opposed to immigration, but said she felt there had been "no vetting". "I'm not a racist, as in I'm happy for people to come to my country if you want to assimilate, if you want to learn to speak our language," she said. "I wish I could speak another language and I tried, but I'm not living in the situation where people speak that language around me."

Average One Nation voter: I'm an intellectual toddler and I demand all Australian immigrants master something I'm incapable of because hearing things I don't understand makes my tummy hurt

Getting back to Rust 5 after so long away has been REALLY NICE, by the way.

12:00 and I'm at 1500 words. Writing while fasting is a nightmare, but I've earned a brekkie.
